Goods need to last a reasonable length and be fit for purpose. Is there something similar your side of the pond?
Having said that, I'd still swap them around, for the reasons Will suggests.

Of course, it is possible that had he swapped the batteries, the rear battery may have never been stressed so bad that eventually failed...
You can play 'what if ' games all day...
In a word, YES it is a good idea to swap them from time to time...
